FOX 15

Slop oil treatment centrifuges for the oil and gas industry

FOX 15 unearths the hidden value in slop oil The FOX 15 is a high-speed disc stack nozzle centrifuge that combines high capacity for handling solids with the superb separation performance that you only get from disc stack centrifuges, providing around 8,000 G of centrifugal force. Slop oil treatment usually requires several stages of separation, since most slop oil is a tight emulsion of oil and water, stabilized with particles. The FOX 15 can be part of such a multi-stage system, but can also function on its own. Features and benefits Simple and compact design with automatic operation Minimal number of moving parts Removes both solids and water with superior efficiency The patented OPTIPHASER ensures rapid and easy optimization, also during full operation

Can deal with considerable variation in feed composition and still achieve a water content as low as 0.11.0 % of the treated oil Low operating costs Easy maintenance The FOX 15 can process up to 15,000 l/h of slop oil, i.e. any blend of emulsified oil and water. Of that total, up to 2,000 l/h of solids content can be handled on a continuous basis. This makes the FOX 15 a very versatile and reliable machine for slop oil treatment.

The OPTIPHASER The FOX 15 centrifuge comes equipped with the OPTIPHASER, a special patented feature enabling the operator to quickly optimize performance while the module is in operation. The OPTIPHASER balances the feed with sufficient buffer water to obtain optimal separation, and makes it possible to accept anything from 0100% oil content in the feed, right from zero to full feed rate (15,000 l/h).
